What is cheap grace?

Acts-dicted Posts: 9027 **7/6/17 9:42 am**

Is cheap grace the kind of grace you don't have to pay high enough a price for?

How do you define the term "cheap grace?"

grace that requires our minimum efforts or the best of our efforts. It is not the grace of God. It is grace by human efforts.

cheap grace falls under the headings of easy believism and Lordship salvation. Two preachers represent both headings: Charles Stanley and John MacArthur

either one or the other: grace by human efforts or God's grace. One will get you to heaven and the other at best gets the applause of men!

Your posts over the last few years are the best definition.

there is no grace that gets you to heaven that is achieved by human efforts.

Is grace treated cheaply that grace you offer God the filthy rags of your righteousness in exchange for?

Atonement is substituted, propitiatory, penal sacrifice and there is no exchange made for redemption.

The Father paid the price for reconciliation unto himself by the death of his own son. God's faith in the blood of his son brought reconciliation unto himself. We offended his righteousness and Christ died in our place.

I never knew there was 'cheap Grace', never heard of it. Shocked

My take

Acts Mod Posts: 3346 **7/7/17 5:08 pm**

A few years ago the Lord began to teach me more about grace. I have heard preachers preach basically from the law most of my life. Jesus brought us into grace. Grace that is so amazing I have a hard time describing.

On the other hand I have heard some preach what I call cheap grace. Some suggesting we never have to repent again. I don't buy that. I repent more than I care to talk about.

No-one can earn grave. I am saved by grace no works needed. But I cannot take advantage of grace. Shall we continue to sin. Certainly not. We are saved from sin. We are not saved and given the right to sin.

The salvation plan covers the price needed to pay for sin, but it also provides the regenerating power of the Spirit to change what we are.

The Cross covers what we did. The Spirit covers who we are.

Cheap grace deals solely with the penalty being paid for our sins and talks little of living as new creations. Those who received the Spirit in Acts did not fall right back into a lifestyle of sin and say, "But at least I'm saved by grace".
